    When the gunpowder package was ignited, more than fifty naval officers were on the edge of the explosion. After the explosion, only a dozen disgraced naval officers and soldiers were seen standing at the scene, and some sailors who died in the explosion were lying on the ground.  Officers and soldiers had broken limbs and arms scattered around. The tragic scene was unbearable to witness!  Cheng Yousheng held back the discomfort in his heart and said to Yan Gui: "There are still more than ten naval officers and soldiers outside. You can lead the brothers to deal with them first!" Yan Gui swallowed and said: "I think those people have been frightened.  , We have no grudges, so we better not hurt their lives." Cheng Yousheng glanced at Yan Gui and said, "As long as these people don't resist, what's the use of killing them!" Qin Mazi has been a bandit for several years and has committed murder and arson.  There are a lot of them, so I adapt to this kind of killing scene quickly.  He inspected the scene with his eyes and said: "It's better that I lead people to deal with it. If these people are really stubborn, I won't be polite to them!" Yan Gui glanced at the last two blessing boats moving slowly on the water and said: "Bird  The cannon soldiers began to retreat with the ship. It would be really difficult if the navy officers and soldiers came again. " Qin Mazi retorted: "With these twenty large exploding craters, it will definitely be a huge threat to the following soldiers.  I guess they don¡¯t dare to come and fight for the water gate easily! In my opinion, we should send people to guard here. Once we find out that the Dengzhou Navy intends to invade the water gate, we will place gunpowder packets and blow them up." Cheng Yousheng shook his head and said: "  This matter can never happen again. The Dengzhou Navy will definitely be more cautious when it attacks again. Besides, we don¡¯t have too many gunpowder packets. Let¡¯s capture the dozen or so frightened Navy officers and soldiers in the field first  ¡­¡± The huge explosion near the water gate of Shuicheng also shocked the Shuicheng officials such as Wang Hui and Tang Shoubei who stayed in the distance to watch the battle.  After the explosion.  Wang Hui saw from the telescope that among the more than fifty naval officers and soldiers at the scene, only a dozen people were left standing there dumbly.  It seems like he has lost his soul.  Wang Hui suddenly felt dizzy, and there was a clear hope of regaining control of Watergate.  But some bandits were too cunning and cruel. They used explosives to blow up the ice to create this explosion. The sudden change dashed his expectations.  "Failed again! How could this happen?" Wang Hui put down the telescope dejectedly, his body swaying on the horse, and looking at the situation, it seemed that he would fall off the horse at any time.  Turning his head to look at the successive naval warships, Wang Hui felt as if his heart was on fire.  But he knew that if no new reinforcements arrived, the remnant soldiers on the scene would definitely not be able to attack Shuicheng Water Gate again.  How could we let that bandit drive away all the warships?  Wang Hui feels that in the past few decades, there has never been a day that made him anxious, angry, hesitant and helpless.  The dignified Denglai Coast Defense Road was helpless as he watched his warships being calmly sailed away by outsiders.  This Pingdu Prefecture flood camp garrison Feng Jian is simply lawless to the extreme!  Thinking about it carefully, I realized that Feng Shubei was indeed not a simple man. From the analysis of various signs, he seemed to have expected that Kong Youde's rebels would capture Dengzhou City, and made a lot of preparations in advance.  When Kong Youde's rebels captured Dengzhou City, he took the opportunity to sail all the naval warships away from Shuicheng to avoid falling into the hands of the rebels. This was not only a mistake but also meritorious.  Now Wang Hui has no intention of investigating how Feng Shoubei learned about the actions of Kong Youde's rebels in advance. How to catch a smooth sailing boat and leave the place of right and wrong is the key. Wait until he escapes.  It¡¯s not too late to impeach this audacious Feng Shoubei!  Whether you can catch a smooth sailing boat is related to your own wealth and life. If the bandit who comes from Pingdu is willing to accept you and leave with him, it is not a bad idea to temporarily lower your status and try to accommodate him.  It's a pity that this vicious bandit didn't even want to leave any trace of his skills behind.  Wang Hui looked angrily at the naval warships that were gradually moving away, and became more and more anxious.  Turning around to look in the direction of the south gate of Shuicheng, there was still no movement from the reinforcements.  He sent all his personal guards to the south gate to urge for reinforcements, and he also knew that nearly half of the guards at the south gate had withdrawn at once.  If Kong Youde's rebels suddenly attack, Shuicheng will really be in crisis.  The defense of Zhenyangmen will definitely be very difficult, and the temporary mobilization of officers and soldiers will not be completed in a short while.  But seeing all the naval warships being driven away by Feng Shubei, naturally he couldn't give up easily.  Wang Hui suppressed his inner anxiety and said to Tang Shoubei in a gentle tone, "Tang Shoubei, these thieves are about to sail the warship away from Shuicheng. If we can't control Shuimen anymore, you and I will be trapped and dead in Shuicheng.  Please immediately organize your soldiers to line up and go to fight for the water gate of Shuicheng again." Tang Guards rode his horse, twisted his fat body uneasily, and said with a mournful face: "Your Excellency has also seen that these officers and soldiers have just been shot by the enemy.  Fleeing during the blockade, I just heard the continuous explosions in front of me, and I was already frightened. With theseHow can officers and soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit fight with others" Wang Hui turned to look at the group of naval officers and soldiers not far away who were frightened by the cannons, and sighed: "Do your best and obey fate!  Go quickly!  " Tang Shou was helpless and urged his horse to march towards the navy officers and soldiers Feng Jian stood at the bow of the fortune ship that was slowly moving out of the water city. He saw that more than half of the warships were already approaching the water gate. There were no new ones on the shore in the direction of the south gate of the water city.  Reinforcements appeared, Cheng Yousheng and the others could hold on for at most half an hour, and all the warships would leave Shuicheng. At that time, they could catch up with them in small boats. From the warships, they could see the more than fifty naval forces rushing past the cannon soldiers to blockade them.  The officers and soldiers are now attacking in the direction of Shuimen. Since the warship is too far away from them, the cannons cannot be used. It seems a waste to use the artillery on the ship to attack just a few dozen people! The ammunition on the ship is to prepare for the arrival of a large number of reinforcements from the Dengzhou Navy!  The key is that Feng Jian has great confidence in Cheng Yousheng and more than 20 of his followers, and Cheng Yousheng is full of ideas. There should be a way to deal with these navy officers and soldiers! Feng Jian did not expect that Cheng Yousheng and others would use gunpowder bags!  Injuring the enemy, the roars were almost continuous, and even the sailing warships were affected. The naval officers and soldiers on the warships were shocked by the roar that resounded over the naval camp, and they all turned their attention to the place where the explosion occurred.  Huang Jinjiang witnessed the objects, debris, and stones flying everywhere at the explosion site, and exclaimed: "Thanks to our warship being far away, the debris flying on the shore cannot threaten our warship!  Brother Cheng has a good brain.  The opponent was dispatched without a single blow!  " Feng Jian shook his head and sighed. Of course Cheng Yousheng and the others would not remain indifferent in the face of the attack by the navy officers and soldiers. It is normal to take necessary actions. When life and death are at stake, people will put aside their so-called kindness and fight to the death. This is the battlefield! Act like this.  The momentum is gone, and the officers and soldiers of Shuicheng will be unable to stop it. He will lead the naval warships back to the sea. From now on, these one hundred naval warships will be named Feng, and no one can take them away from him in the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen!  At noon on the 10th day of the lunar month, in a hall of the newly built Fushan military port in the military camp, General Zhenshan handed a note to Xu Yannian. He said: "Sure enough, Dengzhou City was captured yesterday night. Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng  The rebel soldiers, Geng Zhongming, Chen Guangfu and other original Liaodong soldiers in the city raised fire as a signal in the middle of the night.  The inner and outer forces united to capture Dengzhou City in one fell swoop, and all the officials in the city were captured by the rebels.  " Huang Fuchun said anxiously: "Is Shuicheng controlled by rebels?  Is there any news from the commander?  " Xu Yannian also put down the note and looked at Jiao Keli nervously. Jiao Keli still looked calm. He touched his chin and beard and said: "This intelligence mentioned a little bit. When the rebels occupied Dengzhou City, Dengzhou  Almost everyone in the city could clearly hear the continuous roar from Shuicheng, indicating that something big was happening in Shuicheng!  " Jiao Keli paused and said: "I think this must be the commander leading the navy officers and soldiers to take action. I said two days ago that the commander is good at winning in danger, so there is no need to worry about the commander and his men.  Soldiers' safety!  Huang Fuchun said with a look of amazement: "The commander is really a god from heaven descending to earth."  As expected, Kong Youde's rebels captured Dengzhou City on the ninth day of the first lunar month!  Now I believe that the commander will definitely lead all the Denglai Navy ships back in triumph!  " Xu Yannian also let out a long sigh, but he did not praise as much as Huang Fuchun, but the expression of admiration and admiration on his face was no less than that of Huang Fuchun. He thought thoughtfully and said: "The navy officers, soldiers and court officials in Dengzhou Water City  There are a lot of them. According to the commander's original plan, it would be difficult to get the Dengzhou Navy warships.  It is difficult to solve the problem of ice on the water surface alone. I think the roar of Shuicheng is mostly related to the frozen water surface. Maybe the commander and others are competing with the officers and soldiers of Shuicheng?  " Huang Fuchun nodded. "I guess it was the roar of the artillery on the warship hitting the ice?" he said.  "Xu Yannian frowned and said: "In the past, what we had the most contact with was the firing of the Tiger Crouching Cannon by the artillery team in Zhenshan Camp, and we also heard the artillery team's general Jiang Liang describe the power of various artillery fires.  It feels that although the artillery can penetrate the ice regardless of whether it fires solid bullets or explosive bullets, it cannot break the ice over a large area.  " Huang Fuchun thought about Xu Yannian's words. The artillery's solid bullets have strong penetrating power, but their coverage is very small. They can only make holes in the ice; while the explosive bullets have a large coverage area, but their power is difficult to achieve.  Breaking the entire ice. Unlike Xu Yannian and Huang Fuchun, who completely blindly worshiped Feng Jian, he was more convinced of Feng Jian's unexpected ways of acting and what was about to happen.  Accurate cognition of big things these days.I was guessing how Feng Jian knew the siege plan of Kong Youde's rebels in advance, but I couldn't figure it out. As the intelligence chief of Zhenshan camp who kept collecting information at night, it was naturally attributed to Feng Jian's subordinates who had always been more elite spies.   Having come to this conclusion, Jiao Keli was deeply in awe of Feng Jian. Thinking that Feng Jian dared to hand over the night to him, on the one hand, he regarded himself as a confidant, and on the other hand, he naturally treated himself with every word and deed.  Knowing everything, I will never deceive myself in front of the commander in the future!  Jiao Keli warned himself secretly.  He stroked his short beard with his hand and said slowly: "The No. 1 Fuzhou Xunying Ship has two red cannons. Both of you have seen their power. In my opinion, the loud noise coming from Dengzhou Water City was caused by red cannons."  The commander must have used the Yi cannon to bombard the ice. "Xu Yannian nodded and said, "It makes sense to use the Red Yi cannon to bombard the ice, but the cannons can only reach far, and the ice is close to the position of the warship.  How to break it open? " Jiao Keli was not good at this. When he heard what Xu Yannian said was reasonable, and thought about it carefully, he frowned and stopped talking.  !  !  (To be continued)
